I found a printer and a piece somehow managed to fall out. I have no idea what it is or what it’s for. I was hoping someone might have some kind of idea.

HI Carl - you know, I thank that might be the cap to an ink cartridge. I’ve lost one in the belly of my Printer before, and I’m pretty sure it looked just like that!

It looks like the cradle that holds the ink cartridge in place. I have two in my Cannon printer. One that holds the black cartridge and one that holds the color. Open the printer and look to see if one of the cradles is missing.
